"Solution" for Terrible Colors in HDMI-In

Following this short thread: http://forum.notebookreview.com/har...762100-color-controller-laptop-s-display.html - I have found a device that improve the color quality of the display while using the HDMI- Input.

Color3 Advanced HDMI Color Processing Device - Newegg.com (Device is small, same length as my htc 8x but much thicker)

That device can be found for $20 every now and then and was good enough for eliminating the washed out colors of the display when playing Wii-U games in it. The display only comes with 6 preset (I use 6) unlike the commercial one which can be calibrated however you like (cost $700), however, the user manual says that you can download additional color tables from www.color-3.com which is sadly now dead. Even if the page worked, I have no idea how you would download more tables into the device as it only have two HDMI-In and one Out, but I will keep looking for a way to add more presets in it if possible.

That's all for now,

Cheers.

Wut about AMD? NVIDIA is not the only game in town

 

thanks!!! It helped with hdmi output too
Since my switch from using vga to hdmi (more than a year ago )
I've been tolerating crappy colour on my LCD!
googled for solution had been fruitless
you're the man!

 

If you read the info in the links, there is help for AMD as well.

 

I already tried that but with no change at all. HDMI-IN seems to ignore anything done in the OS as it connects straight to the display. The only thing that you can use in HDMI-IN mode are the function keys (afaik).

 

Thanks for sharing what worked for you. Usually the previously posted fix works for most users.

 

The Wii U doesnt have an option for switching between FullRGB and LimitedRGB so that might be a reason, however, I tried to alternate between them with the nvidia tool and test it out but with the same results (unsaturated colors, bad contrast, etc).
